Reeds

I have been selling handmade oboe reeds for over 9 years. I studied reed making with David Weber, owner of the internationally known company Weber Reeds Inc. I also studied extensively with Martin Schuring and Dr. Michele Fiala during my graduate and undergraduate years.

I offer three types of reeds:

Beginner ($15.00): Free-blowing and stable with a nice big sound,great for oboists in their first years of playing, built tough to withstand pinching or biting.

Intermediate ($18.50): Free-blowing and stable with a more refined and consistent tone, designed to be played farther out on the tip, a good choice for oboists with a more developed embouchure but not yet ready for a professional level reed.

Professional ($24): Refined and stable with a rich tone, designed to be played farther out on the tip with no pinching, allows for the complete range of expressive and musical playing!

All my reeds are handmade, play-tested and guaranteed against arriving cracked or leaking.

I also offer a subscription service for customers who wish to receive a certain number of reeds on a regular basis. I keep track of when reeds are due to be sent, so my customers don’t have to worry about running out of reeds.

Erin, I think I’ve gotten reeds from you before, but lost your contact info somehow. I accidentally brought only $20 with me and I was playing a 4th of July concert…I am in need of another for the Christmas season!
